How to create custom commands for Siri

Question

I need to create custom commands for sirikit. for example:

schedule a meeting today 5 pm

my app should be able to schedule the meeting another example:

follow up with X tomorrow 7 PM

and so on.

Is there a way to integrate such custom commands with Siri? any keywords would be helpful, I just don't know where should I start my search.

Thanks

You can use SiriKit to achieve this. Please see wwdc 2016 video https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2016/217/

Apple now introduced siri shortcuts but you can't take variable parameters from voice commands in siri shortcuts. It is just a shortcut to a particular action/activity. See wwdc 2018 video. https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2018/211/
